PREFACE. 

Most  of  the  volumes  relating  to  foreign  archives,  hitherto  prepared  by  the 
Department  of  Historical  Research  in  the  Carnegie  Institution  of  Washing- 
ton, have  been  summary  surveys  or  inventories  of  the  materials  for  American 
history,  or  the  history  of  the  United  States,  contained  in  the  particular  archives 
treated.  The  present  volume  belongs  to  a  different  class,  and  of  that  class  it 
is  the  first  to  be  issued  by  the  Institution.  Therefore  some  explanation  of  its 
relation  to  the  general  plans  of  the  Department  is  appropriate. 

In  the  task  of  making  more  available  to  students  of  American  history  the 
vast  stores  of  materials  for  that  history  which  are  contained  in  foreign 
archives,  there  are  three  natural  stages  or  processes. 

First,  there  is  the  summary  survey  or  inventory,  in  which  large  masses  of 
papers  are  represented  by  brief  and  often  general  descriptions,  without  much 
effort  to  enter  into  details  respecting  individual  volumes  or  papers. 

A  second  stage  is  reached  when,  a  summary  survey  of  the  contents  of  an 
archive  having  been  already  supplied,  a  certain  portion  or  subdivision  of  it  is 
selected  for  fuller  description.  The  type  of  book  usually  produced  by  this 
procedure  is  that  of  the  calendar,  in  which  each  separate  letter  or  other  docu- 
ment receives  an  entry  of  a  line  or  more,  indicating  its  date,  place  of  origin, 
author,  recipient,  title,  or  such  details,  with  perhaps  some  brief  statement  of 
its  contents. 

The  third  stage  of  procedure  is  to  select  a  set  or  series  of  documents  having 
a  high  value  for  some  particular  purpose  of  history,  and  to  print  them  at  full 
length. 

It  is  not  usually  possible,  in  practice,  to  draw  hard-and-fast  lines  between 
the  first  and  the  second  of  these  varieties  of  procedure  or  of  resulting  hand- 
book. Many  books  descriptive  of  archival  materials  partake  of  both  varieties, 
and  English-speaking  scholars  have  never  agreed  on  any  consistent  or  precise 
use  of  terms  to  designate  the  different  kinds  of  guides  or  repertories.  There 
is  a  broad  and  general  distinction  between  the  survey  and  the  catalogue,  but 
circumstances  cause  and  justify  the  varying  and  the  mingling  of  the  types. 
For  instance,  some  series  of  documents,  steadily  produced,  year  after  year, 
by  the  routine  of  public  administration,  may  be  so  uniform  in  character  that 
they  can  be  sufficiently  described  in  a  few  lines  applicable  to  all,  and  that 
nothing  can  be  gained  by  doing  more,  while  elsewhere  in  the  same  archive,  or 
even  in  the  same  subdivision,  chance  may  have  brought  together  a  mass  of 
papers  so  diverse  in  origin  and  so  miscellaneous  in  character  that  nothing 
short  of  an  itemized  list  can  have  any  value  for  the  investigator,  or  would  be 
thought  of  by  an  intelligent  compiler.

iv  Preface 

To  an  organized  and  endowed  institution  which  approaches  the  task  of 
exploiting  foreign  archives  for  purposes  of  American  history,  it  is  natural  to 
begin  with  that  process  which  is  most  fundamental,  most  extensive  in  scope, 
simplest,  serviceable  to  the  greatest  number  and  variety  of  investigators. 
Therefore  this  Department  of  Historical  Research  undertook,  first,  to  go  the 
rounds  of  the  great  national  archives  of  Europe,  and  of  Canada  and  Mexico, 
sending  qualified  scholars  to  each  to  make  summary  surveys  of  what  it  contains 
of  unprinted  material  for  the  history  of  America,  or  of  the  United  States,  and 
publishing  the  results  in  volumes  the  scale  of  which  was  roughly  proportioned 
to  the  amount  or  importance  of  the  material  found  in  each  repository.  Thus, 
four  large  volumes,  prepared  by  Professor  Charles  M.  Andrews,  Dr.  Charles 
O.  Paullin,  Professor  Frederic  L.  Paxson,  and  Dr.  Frances  G.  Davenport, 
have  exhibited  to  the  American  student,  in  brief  but  comprehensive  survey, 
the  manuscript  treasures,  for  American  history,  of  the  archives  of  London. 
Two  or  three  volumes  on  those  of  Paris  are  under  preparation  by  Mr.  Waldo 
G.  Leland.  Those  of  Germany  have  been  treated,  in  a  substantial  volume,  by 
Professor  Marion  D.  Learned,  those  of  Switzerland  and  Austria  by  Professor 
Albert  B.  Faust,  those  of  Rome  and  other  Italian  capitals  by  Professor  Carl 
R.  Fish,  those  of  Russia  by  Professor  Frank  A.  Golder,  those  of  Canada  by 
Mr.  David  W.  Parker,  those  of  Mexico  by  Professor  Herbert  E.  Bolton,  those 
of  Cuba  by  Mr.  Luis  M.  Perez.  A  thorough  examination  of  those  of  the 
Netherlands  had  been  begun  when  the  present  great  war  opened ;  and  some 
preparations  have  been  made  for  the  examination  of  those  of  the  Scandi- 
navian countries,  Scotland,  Ireland,  and  the  West  Indies. 

If  Spain  be  added  to  this  list,  it  will  be  seen  that  summary  guides  to 
American  materials  in  at  least  the  national  or  central  archives  have  been 
published  or  undertaken  in  the  case  of  nearly  all  those  foreign  countries  whose 
history  to  any  important  extent  touches  that  of  North  America,  certainly  of 
all  those  to  which  any  parts  of  North  America  stood  in  a  colonial  relation, 
and  which  are  therefore  in  an  archival  sense  motherlands  of  its  history.  In 
the  process  of  "  first  aid  "  we  have  in  a  dozen  years  nearly  made  the  circuit, 
and  have  produced  a  series  of  volumes  which,  whatever  the  imperfections 
resulting  from  preparation  in  so  short  a  period  of  time,  have  at  any  rate 
"  served  the  present  age  "  by  making  known  to  the  existing  generation  of 
American  historical  scholars  not  less  than  a  hundred  thousand  documents  in 
foreign  archives  not  hitherto  known  to  their  studies.  It  may  fairly  be  thought 
appropriate  and  seasonable  to  turn  now  to  the  exploitation,  on  a  larger  scale 
and  by  a  different  method,  of  some  outstanding  portions  of  the  mass. 

That  for  this  fuller  and  minuter  treatment,  after  some  method  falling  under 
the  second  of  the  processes  described  above,  choice  should  be  made  of  some 
body  of  papers  in  the  archives  of  Spain,  is  due  to  several  reasons.  In  the 
first  place,  the  Department's  Guide  to  the  Materials  for  the  History  of  the 
United  States  in  Spanish  Archives  (Washington,  1907),  prepared  by  Pro- 


Preface  v 

fessor  William  R.  Shepherd  in  the  earliest  period  of  its  operations,  is  the 
briefest  of  all  its  guides  to  foreign  archives,  a  book  of  only  107  pages.  Yet 
the  three  great  Spanish  archives  which  the  book  purports  to  cover — that  of 
Simancas,  the  Archivo  Historico  Nacional  at  Madrid,  and  the  Archives  of  the 
Indies  at  Seville — contain  enormous  quantities  of  valuable  material  for 
American  history,  certainly  more  than  a  million  of  documents,  perhaps  more 
than  two  millions,  the  natural  product  of  colonial  empire  conducted  upon  a 
vast  scale,  with  minute  attention  to  detail,  and  by  administrators  trained  to 
incessant  writing.  Colonial  empires  have  sometimes  won  greater  success 
with  less  use  of  the  pen ;  but,  whatever  the  practical  results  may  have  been, 
historical  investigators  will  not  quarrel  with  the  Spanish  official's  ceaseless 
accumulation  of  papers.  Their  main  thought  will  be  one  of  gratulation  and 
contentment,  that  the  system  has  left  infinite  riches  of  material  to  the  present- 
day  student. 

To  this  vast  mass  of  material,  moreover,  American  interest  has  been 
strongly  directed  of  late.  Since  1898  American  students  have  entered  as 
never  before  upon  the  study  of  Spanish-American  history,  of  the  relations 
between  Spain  and  the  United  States,  and  of  the  history  of  those  parts  of  our 
present  area — the  Louisiana  territory,  old  Florida,  California,  and  the  South- 
west, a  good  third  of  the  whole — which  once  were  ruled  by  Spain.  Historical 
societies  and  institutions  in  the  states  involved,  historical  departments  in  their 
universities — like  the  Department  of  Archives  and  History  in  the  State  of 
Mississippi,  or  the  historical  department  of  the  University  of  California — 
have  interested  themselves  in  the  exploitation  of  Spanish  archives  and  have 
interested  others  in  the  history  to  which  they  contribute.  That  third  of  the 
United  States  that  was  once  under  Spain  is  well  awakened  to  interest  in  its 
own  past.  One  might  fairly  feel  confident  that  a  volume  describing  in  detail 
an  important  portion  of  these  treasures  would  be  put  to  good  use.  Moreover, 
not  only  was  this  department's  Guide  but  a  meagre  "  first  aid  ",  but  Spain  her- 
self has  provided  little  guidance  to  her  archives,  few  such  volumes,  for 
instance,  as  those  of  the  British  Calendars  of  State  Papers ;  and  the  materials 
derived  from  those  archives  which  the  Argentine  and  other  American  govern- 
ments have  occasionally  published  bear  little  relation  to  the  history  of  the 
United  States. 

Among  the  various  subdivisions  of  the  various  Spanish  archives,  it  appeared 
that  the  one  containing  the  greatest  amount  of  material  interesting  to  historical 
students  in  the  United  States  was,  with  little  question,  that  section  of  the 
Archives  of  the  Indies  at  Seville  entitled  "  Papeles  procedentes  de  la  Isla  de 
Cuba  ".  Accordingly,  this  section,  or  that  portion  of  it  relating  to  United 
States  history,  was  selected  for  fuller  treatment,  and  Mr.  Roscoe  R.  Hill, 
qualified  by  several  years'  study  of  Spanish-American  history  and  several 
years'  residence  in  a  Spanish-speaking  country,  was  sent  to  Seville  in  January, 
191 1,  to  carry  out  the  undertaking.     The  first  plan,  framed  before  Mr.  Hill 


vi  Preface 

left  America  and  when  only  very  insufficient  quantitative  information  respect- 
ing the  "  Papeles  de  Cuba  "  was  available,  looked  toward  the  preparation  of 
an  itemized  calendar  of  all  the  papers  relating  to  the  United  States  in  that 
section ;  but  when  it  appeared,  after  examinations  and  estimates  made  upon 
the  spot,  that  those  papers  numbered  four  or  five  hundred  thousand,  it  was 
at  once  seen  that  such  a  proposal  was  entirely  impracticable.  No  one  could 
advocate  the  printing  of  fifty  volumes  of  calendar  of  the  "  Papeles  de  Cuba  "  ; 
the  present  demands  of  scholarship  do  not  warrant  it.  Instead,  it  was  resolved 
that  an  ingenious  plan  devised  by  Mr.  Hill  should  be  followed,  resulting  in 
the  present  Descriptive  Catalogue,  which  it  is  hoped  conveys  as  much  informa- 
tion regarding  this  great  mass  of  papers  from  Cuba  as  can  well  be  conveyed 
in  five  hundred  pages. 

The  volume  is  the  product  of  two  yea*s  and  four  months  of  work  in  the 
Archives  of  the  Indies,  on  the  part  of  Mr.  Hill  and  three  or  four  clerical 
assistants,  from  January,  191 1,  to  April,  1913,  and  of  much  labor  on  his  part 
in  America  since  that  date.  But  it  is  not  the  sole  product  of  those  years  and 
months  in  Seville ;  students  who  may  wish  for  more  detailed  knowledge  of 
the  contents  of  these  legajos  (bundles)  of  papers  will  be  glad  to  know  that, 
though  the  preparation  and  printing  of  a  complete  calendar  was  deemed 
impracticable,  itemized  lists  of  all  the  papers  in  143  legajos  selected  as  the 
most  important,  amounting  to  a  brief  calendar  of  some  58,000  documents, 
were  prepared  in  manuscript,  in  duplicate,  by  Mr.  Hill  and  his  assistants  in 
Seville,  and  are  preserved  in  the  office  of  the  Department  in  Washington. 
There  the  two  sets  stand  arranged  in  serial  and  chronological  order  respec- 
tively, and  can  be  consulted  with  freedom  by  historical  scholars. 

The  reader  is  referred  to  Mr.  Hill's  introduction  for  accounts  of  the 
Archives  of  the  Indies,  of  the  "  Papeles  de  Cuba  "  in  particular,  of  their 
history,  of  the  present  work,  of  the  calendar  mentioned  above,  and  of  the 
series  of  photographs  of  important  documents  which  increase  still  further 
the  means  for  studying  American  history  through  these  Cuban  papers.  In- 
deed, every  user  of  the  volume  is  earnestly  requested  first  to  read  Mr.  Hill's 
explanatory  introduction,  that  he  may  use  the  volume  with  an  intelligent 
notion  as  to  what  it  purports  to  contain. 

The  index  to  the  volume  has  been  prepared  by  Mr.  David  M.  Matteson,  of 
Cambridge,  Massachusetts. 

The  director  of  the  Department  begs  leave  to  add  his  cordial  thanks  to  those 
which  Mr.  Hill  has  expressed,  to  all  those  who  have  facilitated  or  assisted 
the  preparation  of  the  work.

INTRODUCTION. 

The  Archivo  General  de  Indias  (Archives  of  the  Indies)1  is  one  of  the 
most  important  collections  of  materials  for  colonial  history  in  existence.  It 
comprises  about  35,000  legajos  (bundles),  ranging  in  size  from  a  few  docu- 
ments or  bound  volumes  to  as  many  as  2000  documents  each.  They  cover  in 
general  the  whole  Spanish  colonial  period,  although  the  collection  is  far  from 

'There  is  no  work  treating  completely  the  Archivo  de  Indias.  Numerous  articles 
have  appeared  and  some  check-lists  have  been  published,  which  serve  to  give  an  idea  of 
the  vastness  and  importance  of  the  collection.  The  following  bibliography  gives  the 
principal  titles  relating  to  the  Archivo,  but  does  not  include  any  published  collections  of 
documents,  of  which  there  are  many :

being  complete,  as  many  documents  which  really  belong  here  are  to  be  found 
in  Simancas,  in  the  Archivo  Historico  Nacional  at  Madrid,  and  elsewhere.' 
Orders  have  been  given,  however,  which  ultimately  will  bring  about  the 
removal  to  Seville  of  all  the  documents  relating  to  the  Spanish  colonial 
activity. 

The  Archivo  occupies  the  Casa  Lonja,  a  large  rectangular  building  con- 
structed in  the  sixteenth  century  as  a  merchants'  exchange,  for  those  engaged 
in  the  India  trade.  The  removal  of  the  Casa  de  Contratacion  to  Cadiz  and 
the  break-up  of  the  Spanish  trade  monopoly  in  the  eighteenth  century  left  the 
Lonja  unoccupied.  When  the  decision  was  made  to  found  the  Archivo  de 
Indias,  no  more  suitable  building  or  location  was  available  in  Spain  than  the 
Casa  Lonja  in  Seville. 

The  Archivo  de  Indias  owes  its  origin  to  a  suggestion  made  by  Juan 
Bautista  Muiioz,  who  was  commissioned  in  1777  to  write  a  Historic  General 
de  Indias.'  Mufioz  soon  discovered  the  need  of  uniting  the  widely  scattered 
documents  relating  to  the  history  of  America,  and  made  the  suggestion  to 
the  Marques  de  Sonora,  at  that  time  minister  of  the  Indies,  that  they  be 
gathered  together  in  Seville.  Accordingly  Mufioz  was  commissioned  in  1781 
by  the  king  to  select  and  prepare  for  shipment  the  documents  in  Simancas 
relating  to  America.  Later  he  was  empowered  to  investigate  the  papers  of 
the  Casa  de  Contratacion  both  in  Seville  and  in  Cadiz.  Of  his  work  of 
organization,  which  was  largely  completed  by  1787,  he  has  left  an  interesting 
report.*  While  the  work  of  selecting  the  documents  was  in  progress,  the 
Lonja  was  remodelled  to  adapt  it  to  archival  uses.  The  papers  in  Simancas 
were  inventoried  and  boxed  in  1784-1785,  and  in  the  latter  year  were  removed 
to  Seville,  being  the  first  group  of  documents  to  be  deposited  in  the  new  centre. 
This  consignment,  the  only  one  from  Simancas,  consisted  of  253  boxes  which 
started  from  Simancas  on  September  20  and  21,  in  twenty-four  carts,  and 
arrived  in  Seville  on  October  15,  under  the  guard  of  two  commissioners  and 
an  armed  escort.* 

Since  that  date  additions  have  been  made  to  the  Archivo  de  Indias  from 
time  to  time.  At  present  the  Archivo  consists  of  materials  as  indicated  in  the 
table  on  page  ix. 

The  division  of  the  documents  into  the  twelve  sections  listed  in  this  table 
was  made  with  a  view  to  preserving  the  identity  of  the  origin  in  each  case. 
In  general,  within  the  sections  the  papers  are  arranged  topographically  and 
chronologically,  although  in  some  instances  they  are  divided  by  subjects  as

The  task  of  making  indexes  for  this  vast  mass  of  documents  has  never  been 
satisfactorily  completed.  There  are  manuscript  inventories  of  greater  or  less 
merit  for  each  of  the  sections.'  The  summary  entries  of  these  inventories

WORK  IN  THE  ARCHIVO  DE  INDIAS. 
No  formalities  are  really  necessary  to  secure  permission  to  work  in  the 
Archivo  de  Indias.     Presentation  to  the  Director  by  some  one  already  work- 
ing there  or  by  the  American  consul  is  in  good  form,  or  a  letter  from  the 
American  ambassador  at  Madrid  or  the  Spanish  ambassador  in  Washington

Sevilla,  afio  I.,  num.  3  (Sept.,  1913),  pp.  29-47.  The  Ordenanzas  are  signed  by  the  king 
and  Antonio  Porlier.  They  consist  of  94  articles  and  contain  rules  for  the  organization 
and  indexing  of  the  papers,  indicate  the  officials  and  their  duties,  and  set  forth  regula- 
tions for  cleaning,  repairs,  inspection,  copies,  loans,  and  prevention  of  fires.

x  Introduction 

may  be  used  as  a  means  of  introduction.  Entry  to  the  archives  having  been 
thus  easily  secured,  a  place  is  assigned  to  the  investigator  in  the  work-room, 
where  he  may  carry  on  his  studies  unmolested.  Since  the  whole  of  the  Lonja 
has  been  turned  over  to  the  Archivo,  numerous  improvements  have  been  made 
in  the  building,  providing  for  more  commodious  working  quarters  than  existed 
during  and  previous  to  the  residence  of  the  writer  in  Seville. 

In  order  to  secure  legajos  for  examination,  it  is  necessary  to  fill  out  a 
papeleta  de  pedido  (call  slip)  and  present  it  to  the  official  in  charge.  The 
legajo  is  brought  to  the  desk  of  the  investigator  by  an  attendant.  Before 
receiving  another  legajo  the  first  must  be  returned  to  the  attendant. 

One  of  the  greatest  difficulties  that  confronts  the  investigator  in  the  Archivo 
de  Indias  is  the  fact  that  heretofore  no  record  has  been  kept  of  previous  inves- 
tigations. Neither  is  there  in  existence  anything  approaching  a  complete 
bibliography  of  the  publications  made  of  documents  copied  in  the  archives. 
These  facts  have  resulted  in  much  useless  duplication  of  work  by  students. 
In  order  to  obviate  these  difficulties  and  to  provide  a  complete  record  of  the 
various  investigations  carried  on  in  the  Archivo,  a  blank  (cedula  de  resultado 
de  investigation)  has  been  devised  to  preserve  a  permanent  record  of  the 
work  of  each  investigator.  The  blank  has  spaces  for  date,  name,  and  nation- 
ality of  the  investigator,  subject  of  investigation,  number  of  the  legajo,  title 
on  legajo  tag,  copies  made,  object  of  work  and  use  to  be  made  of  copies,  and 
an  extract  of  the  subject  matter.    The  following  is  the  form  of  the  blank :

Introduction  xi 

The  above  blank  is  filled  out  in  duplicate ;  one  copy  is  placed  in  the  legajo 
and  the  other  is  filed  in  the  office  of  the  Director  of  the  Archivo.  The  blanks 
of  the  latter  set  are  numbered  consecutively  in  chronological  order  by  quarters. 
They  are  also  classified  topographically  by  subject  matter  and  by  the  nation- 
ality of  the  investigator." 

PAPELES  PROCEDENTES  DE  CUBA. 

Not  the  least  important  of  the  sections  of  the  Archivo  de  Indias,  and 
certainly  the  most  valuable  single  collection  deposited  there  relating  to  the 
history  of  the  present  area  of  the  United  States,  is  that  denominated  the 
"  Papeles  procedentes  de  la  Isla  de  Cuba  ".  This  collection  comprises  2375 
legajos  and  about  a  million  and  a  quarter  individual  documents.  In  accord- 
ance with  the  customary  procedure  in  Spanish  archival  practice,  these  papers 
derive  their  name  from  the  fact  that  for  a  considerable  portion  of  the  nine- 
teenth century  they  formed  a  part  of  the  Archivo  General  de  Cuba  at  Havana," 
and  were  removed  thence  to  Seville. 

The  decision  to  transfer  this  valuable  mass  of  materials  to  Seville  for 
deposit  in  the  Archivo  de  Indias  was  first  taken  in  1883.  The  captain 
general  was  informed  of  this  fact  by  a  royal  order  of  March  27,  but  no  efforts 
were  made  to  carry  it  out.  The  attention  of  the  captain  general  was  called 
to  the  failure  to  comply  with  the  order  by  a  second  order  dated  January  8, 
1884."  It  was  not  until  four  years  later,  however,  that  the  actual  work  of  the 
transfer  was  begun."  In  response  to  the  desires  of  the  government  at 
Madrid  as  expressed  in  the  royal  order  of  April  19,  1888,  Nemesio  Cornejo 
de  Villarroel,  an  archivist  and  lawyer  of  Madrid,  who  at  the  time  was  in 
Havana,  was  commissioned  to  prepare  the  documents  for  shipment  and  send 
them  to  Spain.  Within  the  period  from  June  25,  1888,  to  June  25,  1889, 
thirteen  shipments  of  documents,  comprising  2350  legajos,  were  made  from 
Havana.     The  last  shipment  arrived  in  Seville  October  28,  1889." 

The  various  shipments  of  the  Papeles  de  Cuba  to  the  Archivo  de  Indias 
were  accompanied  by  check-lists,"  which  Sr.  Cornejo  made  by  taking  the  first 
entries  from  the  earlier  inventories "  existing  in  the  Archivo  General  de 

"  Luis  Rubio  y  Moreno,  "Archivo  General  de  Indias :  Movimiento  de  Fondos :  In- 
vestigation y  Catalogacion  ",  in  Boletin  del  Ccntro  de  Estudios  Americanistas  de  Sevilla,

legajos,  and  Series  22,  Varios,  4  legajos,  which  are  given  in  the  manuscript  in  the  Archivo 
de  Indias  (see  below,  p.  xiii).  Sr.  Llaverias  seems  to  have  had  difficulty  in  locating 
these  lists,  but  they  were  known  to  the  officials  of  the  Archivo  Nacional  at  Havana  as 
early  as  1907,  cf.  Perez,  Guide  to  Cuban  Archives,  p.  4.

Introduction 


Cuba  or  by  copying  the  titles  from  the  tags  on  the  legajos.  These  check-lists 
were  placed  together  in  the  order  of  receipt  and  are  the  only  official  index  " 
of  the  papers  existing  in  the  Archivo  de  Indias. 

ORGANIZATION   AND   HISTORY. 

A  study  of  the  Papeles  procedentes  de  Cuba  shows  that  Havana  was  not 
the  primary  point  of  origin  of  many  of  the  documents.  Their  organization 
reflects  the  Spanish  archival  practice  which  seeks  to  preserve  the  identity  of 
the  origin  of  the  various  groups  of  papers  in  any  given  centre.  As  a  conse- 
quence the  Papeles  de  Cuba  are  found  to  consist  of  23  series,  22  of  which  were 
formed  in  Havana  and  have  their  own  numeration.  These  series  are  now 
consolidated  into  one  section  of  the  Archivo  de  Indias  and  are  renumbered 
Papeles  de  Cuba  1-2375.  The  following  table  shows  the  various  series,  their 
respective  numerations,  titles,  primary  origin,  general  content,  and  number 
of  legajos  containing  materials  for  United  States  history :

To  some  extent  the  above  series  represent  the  various  removals  of  docu-

In  1804,  by  orders  "  of  the  Spanish  commissioners  for  the  transfer  of 
Louisiana,  the  commandants  of  the  various  posts  of  the  province  classified 
and  inventoried  the  documents  in  their  charge.  Those  relating  to  property, 
wills,  marriages,  and  other  personal  interests  of  the  inhabitants  were  prepared 
for  transfer  to  the  French  and  then  to  the  United  States."

Introduction  xv 

These  documents  from  the  governor's  office  in  New  Orleans  were  removed 
to  Pensacola  during  the  years  1804  to  1806.  So  much  delay  was  experienced 
in  preparing  them  for  transfer  that  the  commandant  of  Pensacola,  Vizente 
Folch,  became  impatient  and  insisted  that  they  be  sent  at  once  in  order  to 
facilitate  the  business  of  his  office."  At  the  time  of  the  arrival  of  this  letter 
in  New  Orleans  the  major  part  of  the  documents  was  ready  for  shipment  in 
care  of  Cayetano  Valdes." 

Just  when  these  papers  were  transferred  has  not  been  ascertained,  but  it  is 
certain  that  a  considerable  portion  were  in  Pensacola  prior  to  October  5,

xvi  Introduction 

1805.**  Further,  all  documents  which  were  retained  by  Spain  were  removed 
from  New  Orleans  before  the  end  of  January,  1806,  when  all  persons  holding 
commissions  from  Spain  were  ordered  by  Governor  Claiborne  to  leave  the 
province."  This  removal  explains  the  title  Florida  Occidental  as  applied  to 
the  papers  from  the  office  of  the  governor  of  Louisiana,  since  Pensacola 
was  considered  the  place  of  origin  when  the  documents  were  organized  in 
Havana." 

LUISIANA   SERIES. 

The  papers  of  the  Luisiana  series  (legajos  488-778),  which  originated  in 
the  various  divisions  of  the  department  of  Real  Hacienda  of  Louisiana,  in 
general  were  moved  to  Havana  from  New  Orleans  in  1804.  In  October  of 
that  year  two  shipments  of  papers  were  made  on  the  frigate  Nuestra  Senora 
de  las  Nieves.  One  of  these  consisted  of  fifteen  boxes,  containing  147  legajos 
of  documents  from  the  Contaduria  of  New  Orleans,  which  were  sent  to 
the  Tribunal  Superior  y  Real  Audiencia  de  Cuentas  de  Habana."  Generally 
these  papers  dated  to  1798,  though  some  few  were  as  late  as  1804. 

The  other  shipment  comprised  sixteen  boxes  of  documents,  dating  to  1804, 
from  the  Administracion  de  Reales  Rentas  (Custom-house)  of  New  Orleans, 
which  were  sent  to  the  intendant  of  Havana."  These  boxes  of  papers  were 
received  by  Captain  Juan  Portas  on  October  4,"  and  delivered  by  him  to  the 
intendant  of  Havana,  Rafael  Gomez  Rombaud,  on  November  13." 

In  neither  case  did  these  shipments  comprise  the  entire  archive  of  the 
respective  offices."  Also  it  should  be  noted  that  some  of  these  documents  are 
to  be  found  in  the  Nueva  Orleans  and  Florida  Occidental  series.  The  remain- 
ing treasury  papers  were  removed  ultimately  to  Pensacola." 

The  initiative  for  the  transfer  of  the  above-mentioned  documents  was  taken 
by  Juan  Ventura  Morales,  acting  intendant  of  Louisiana,  and  resulted  in  a 
very  acrimonious  dispute  with  the  commissioner  for  the  transfer  of  Louisiana,

Introduction  xvii 

the  Marques  de  Casa  Calvo,  as  to  the  respective  jurisdictions  of  the  two 
officials.  Morales  held  that  he  was  acting  in  conformity  with  the  order  of 
November  31,  1803,  issued  by  the  secretary  of  the  treasury,  Cayetano  Soler." 
On  the  other  hand,  Casa  Calvo,  basing  his  claim  on  the  royal  order  of  Decem- 
ber 18,  1803,"  was  insistent  that  all  matters  appertaining  to  the  transfer  of 
Louisiana,  including  also  the  disposition  of  the  archives,  were  subject  to  his 
jurisdiction  alone.**  The  dispute  waxed  warm  and  lasted  for  a  considerable 
time,  but  meanwhile  the  papers  had  gone  on  their  way  to  Havana. 

The  treasury  papers  left  in  New  Orleans  at  this  time  were  prepared  for 
removal  in  1805,  upon  the  order  of  Morales."  Before  their  arrival  at  their 
destination  these  papers  suffered  many  vicissitudes  and  were  the  cause  of  a 
lively  dispute  between  J.  V.  Morales  and  Vizente  Folch,  the  commandant  of 
Pensacola. 

These  documents  were  packed  in  twenty-one  boxes  and  shipped  on  the 
schooner  Maria  "  with  a  naval  escort.  They  were  consigned  to  Juan  Fran- 
cisco Arniaud  de  Courville,  treasurer  of  Pensacola,  with  instructions  that  they 
should  not  be  touched  by  anyone."  At  Pasa  Christina  the  Maria  and  its  escort 
were  attacked  by  an  English  corsair,  but  escaped  with  little  injury." 

Folch  knew  the  disputatious  character  of  Morales,  and  seems  to  have 
determined  to  prevent  if  possible  the  latter's  arrival  in  Pensacola.  Accord- 
ingly, on  September  30  Folch  offered  Mobile  as  a  residence  for  the  officials 
of  the  intendancy  and  the  fort  there  as  a  depository  for  the  archives,  as  being 
the  "  only  defensible  fortification  which  the  Province  has  "."  Morales  pro- 
tested against  this  determination  of  Folch  and  insisted  that  Pensacola  was  the 
more  suitable  location  for  the  intendancy  and  its  archives.*0    Both  officials

xviii  Introduction 

appealed  to  the  captain  general  at  Havana  and  to  the  secretary  of  Hacienda 
in  Madrid.  Meanwhile  Folch  took  matters  into  his  own  hands  and  ordered 
that  the  twenty-one  boxes  should  be  disembarked  at  Mobile."  This  of  course 
provoked  a  new  protest  from  Morales.4* 

Upon  this  occasion  at  least  Morales  seems  to  have  had  the  approval  of  his 
superiors  with  respect  to  his  dispute.  The  Marques  de  Someruelos,  the 
captain  general,  ordered  Folch  to  allow  Morales  to  reside  in  Pensacola  and 
keep  the  archives  of  the  commandancy  there,  as  it  seemed  to  be  a  safe  place 
for  them.4*  In  addition,  Soler,  the  secretary  of  Hacienda,  issued  a  royal  order 
disapproving  the  action  of  Folch  and  ordering  the  removal  of  the  papers  to 
Pensacola.44  Even  to  this  high  authority  Folch  made  an  evasive  reply.  He 
pointed  out  that  the  order  had  been  issued  under  the  misunderstanding  that  the 
documents  had  arrived  in  Pensacola  and  had  been  taken  thence  to  Mobile,  and 
insisted  that  he  would  leave  the  twenty-one  boxes  in  Mobile.4*  The  papers 
ultimately  found  their  way  to  Pensacola.  Morales,  however,  did  not  succeed 
in  taking  them  with  him,  for  he  was  already  in  Pensacola  early  in  1806,*5  long 
before  the  above-mentioned  resolution  of  Folch.  Just  when  they  were  re- 
moved is  not  certain,  but  it  is  known  that  they  arrived  some  time  before  the 
close  of  the  administration  of  Mateo  Gonzalez  Manrique  as  commandant  of 
Pensacola  (1813-1815).4' 

An  echo  of  the  final  difficulties  of  Folch  and  Morales  regarding  the  archives 
is  found  in  a  royal  order  of  September  24,  1807,  in  which  Folch  is  ordered  to 
turn  over  to  Morales,  at  once,  such  papers  and  expedientes  relating  to  the 
department  of  Hacienda  as  properly  belonged  to  the  intendancy.4* 

REMOVALS    FROM    PENSACOLA    TO    HAVANA. 

The  papers  belonging  to  the  various  offices  in  Pensacola,  which  either 
originated  there  or  were  removed  thither,  were  taken  to  Havana  at  different 
times.     In  1808  General  James  Wilkinson  had  become  fearful,  because  of

attacks  which  were  being  made  upon  him,4*  that  something  regarding  his 
traitorous  relations  with  Spain  might  leak  out  of  the  Spanish  archives  at 
Pensacola.  He  communicated  his  fears  to  Commandant  Folch,  who  assured 
him  that 

I  believe  that  you  are  already  well  convinced  that  I  have  acted  in  a  manner 
befitting  a  faithful  servant  of  the  honorable  Spanish  Monarchy  and  that  I 
have  fulfilled  sincerely  the  duties  which  friendship  imposes  upon  me.  I  have 
even  done  more,  since  I  have  sent  to  the  Archives  of  Havana  all  that  pertains 
to  the  previous  (antigua)  history  (a)  feeling  sure  that  before  the  United 
States  shall  be  in  position  to  conquer  that  capital,  you  and  I,  Jefferson,  Madi- 
son, with  all  the  secretaries  of  the  different  departments,  and  even  the  Prophet 
Daniel  (b)  himself  will  have  made  many  day's  journeys  on  the  voyage  to  the 
other  world." 

Just  how  many  or  what  documents  were  transferred  at  this  time  is  not  known, 
as  no  inventory  was  discovered,  and  after  the  removal  these  were  put  in  their 
rightful  place  in  the  Florida  Occidental  series,  along  with  the  other  papers 
from  the  archive  of  the  governor  of  Louisiana. 

In  the  early  morning  of  November  8,  1811,  a  fire  occurred  in  the  house  of 
Juan  Francisco  Arniaud  de  Courville,  treasurer  at  Pensacola,  which  destroyed 
the  papers  of  that  office."  This  created  what  is  perhaps  the  most  extensive 
lacuna  in  the  Papeles  de  Cuba. 

For  purposes  of  auditing,  documents  were  sent  by  the  treasury  officials  of 
Louisiana  and  West  Florida  to  the  Tribunal  de  Cuentas  and  the  intendant  of 
Havana,  at  various  times.  Sufficient  data  to  give  a  list  of  such  transmissions 
are  not  available.  Such  a  shipment  was  made  on  July  12,  1812,  when  36

ana  for  1802-1805  and  of  the  office  for  the  conclusion  of  the  affairs  of 
Louisiana  for  1806-1811,  were  sent  to  the  Tribunal  de  Cuentas  in  Havana  in 
two  boxes,  numbered  19  and  20,  on  the  packet-boat  San  Francisco  de  Borja." 
One  of  the  latest  shipments  of  this  kind  was  made  early  in  181 7,  when  eight 
boxes  of  papers  were  sent  from  the  secretariat  of  the  intendancy  at  Pensacola 
to  Havana,  two  boxes  on  the  schooner  San  Luguena  and  six  on  the  schooner 
Maria." 

Several  transfers  of  papers  relating  to  Louisiana  and  West  Florida  took 
place  in  1818.  In  February  of  that  year,  J.  V.  Morales  deposited  in  the 
intendancy  of  Havana  certain  important  documents,  relating  especially  to 
his  conflicts  with  other  officials,  which  he  had  retained  in  his  possession  after 
the  close  of  his  administration  as  acting  intendant  of  West  Florida."  Pre- 
sumably on  account  of  the  disturbed  conditions  in  Florida,  in  May,  1818,  the 
archives  of  San  Marcos  de  Apalache  were  deposited  in  the  secretariat  of  the 
commandant  of  Pensacola." 

The  transfer  of  the  major  portion  of  the  documents  from  Pensacola  to 
Havana  took  place  in  the  years  1818-1819.  In  the  former  year  General 
Andrew  Jackson  seized  Pensacola,  and  the  fifth  of  the  proposals  of  Comman- 
dant Jose  Masot  dealt  with  the  subject  of  the  transfer  of  the  archives  to 
Havana,  in  the  following  terms : 

A  competent  number  of  vessels  shall  be  furnished  for  embarking  personal 
effects,  papers,  and  other  property  belonging  to  the  commandant,  officers,  and 
others  in  the  royal  employ,  and  particularly  the  papers  of  the  secretary's  office 
of  the  government  existing  in  Pensacola,  those  of  the  department  of  royal 
finance,  and  of  the  civil  and  military  employs.  These  papers  shall  not  be 
subjected  to  any  inspection  or  recognizance  under  the  pledge  of  their  con- 
taining nothing  foreign  to  the  functions  of  the  said  persons.  Approved, — 
and  estimate  of  the  necessary  transportation  to  be  furnished  agreeably  to 
established  usage." 

On  the  following  day,  May  29,  in  a  proclamation  to  the  citizens,  General 
Jackson  stated  that  "  Col.  King  will  take  possession  of  the  archeyes  (sic)  of 
the  province  and  appoint  some  confidential  individual  to  preserve  them.  It 
is  all  important  that  the  records  of  titles  and  property  should  be  carefully 
secured."  "

Introduction  xxi 

In  accordance  with  this  arrangement  at  least  two  shipments  of  papers  were 
made.  When  Masot  departed  for  Havana  on  June  22  on  the  schooner  Peggy, 
he  took  with  him  seventeen  boxes  of  papers  from  the  offices  of  the  comman- 
dancy  and  of  the  treasury.  The  Peggy  encountered  extremely  bad  weather 
and  was  compelled  to  put  in  at  Puerto  de  Sisal  (Campeche) ."  On  August  24, 
Masot  started  from  Campeche  with  the  schooner  Peggy  and  the  sloop 
Washington.  Calms  and  contrary  winds  were  encountered  and  the  vessels 
became  separated.  On  September  8,  the  Peggy,  which  carried  Masot  and  the 
papers,  was  attacked  and  captured  by  the  corsair  General  Umber  (Humbert) , 
under  the  command  of  Captain  Francisco  Ruperto  of  Buenos  Aires.  The 
vessel  was  sacked,  the  boxes  of  documents  were  broken  open,  and  Masot 
claimed  that  many  of  the  papers  were  thrown  into  the  water."  The  Peggy 
was  forced  to  return  to  Campeche,  where  it  was  found  that  she  was  incapable 
of  continuing  the  voyage." 

The  boxes  of  papers  were  deposited  for  safe-keeping  in  the  custom-house 
at  Campeche,  and  it  was  pointed  out  that,  on  account  of  the  dangers  of  naviga- 
tion, it  would  be  advisable  for  a  war  vessel  to  be  sent  to  transfer  the  documents 
to  Havana."  Following  out  this  suggestion,  Captain  General  Cienfuegos 
dispatched  his  Majesty's  schooner  the  Galga  to  secure  the  papers,  on  January 
13,  1819,0  and  the  seventeen  boxes  were  again  embarked  thereon,  January 
24."    A  few  days  later,  they  were  in  Havana. 

In  a  letter  to  J.  G.  Forbes,  Nicolas  Mahy,  captain  general  of  Cuba,  stated 
that  "  in  the  year  181 9,  there  were  sent  to  Havana  from  West  Florida  various 
boxes  of  papers  of  the  archives  of  that  province,  in  disorder  and  without 
indexes  ".**  This  condition  of  things  can  easily  be  accounted  for  by  the  haste 
in  packing  and  the  vicissitudes  which  the  papers  suffered  during  the  passage. 

The  second  transfer  of  papers  in  conformity  with  the  agreement  of  Jackson 
and  Masot  took  place  in  August,  1818.  On  the  21st  of  that  month,  fifteen 
boxes  and  a  trunk  of  documents  were  embarked  on  the  American  schooner 

"Letter  of  Masot  to  Cienfuegos,  July  31,  1818,  legajo  1877. 

"  This  statement  of  Masot  respecting  the  loss  of  papers  seems  to  be  an  exaggeration, 
as  the  seventeen  boxes  were  still  present  after  the  attack,  and  the  examination  of  the 
Papeles  de  Cuba  has  revealed  no  important  lacuna  ascribable  to  this  occasion.  J.  G. 
Forbes,  however,  in  a  letter  to  J.  Q.  Adams,  dated  May  5,  1821,  reported  that  the  Spanish 
officials  in  Havana  had  informed  him  "  that  about  ten  boxes  containing  the  records  of 
grants  of  land  in  West  Florida  were  taken  by  an  insurgent  privateer  out  of  the  vessel  in 
which  Governor  Masot  was  a  passenger  from  Pensacola  ".  (American  State  Papers, 
Foreign  Relations,  IV.  743;  Perez,  Guide  to  Cuban  Archives,  p.  76.)  This  statement, 
which  is  evidently  false,  was  made  in  an  effort  to  put  an  end  to  the  persistence  of  Forbes 
in  his  endeavor  to  secure  documents  from  the  archives  in  Havana.

Sally."  These  documents  arrived  in  Havana  on  October  31,  1818."  The  two 
above-mentioned  consignments  of  papers  were  not  returned  to  Pensacola  upon 
the  reoccupation  of  that  city  by  the  Spaniards." 

The  second  article  of  the  treaty  between  the  United  States  and  Spain 
(February  2,  1819)  for  the  cession  of  the  Floridas  provided  that  "His 
Catholic  Majesty  cedes  ....  archives  and  documents,  which  relate  directly 

to  the  property  and  sovereignty  of  said  provinces The  said  archives 

and  documents  shall  be  left  in  possession  of  the  commissioners  or  officers  of 
the  United  States  duly  authorized  to  receive  them."  "  Despite  this  provision, 
it  was  many  years  before  any  documents  were  obtained  from  among  the  West 
Florida  papers  which  were  in  Havana  at  the  time  of  the  cession.  Repeated 
efforts  on  the  part  of  the  United  States  commissioner,"  the  protests  of  the 
Secretary  of  State  to  the  Spanish  minister,  and  the  message  of  President 
Monroe  of  December  3,  1821,  complaining  of  the  failure  to  transfer  the  docu- 
ments,1" failed  to  elicit  any  other  reply  than  that  the  papers  in  question  had 
been  lost  in  transit.  Some  investigation,  however,  of  the  Florida  papers  was 
made  by  the  Spanish  officials  at  this  time." 

As  a  matter  of  fact  Spain  was  not  desirous  that  anyone  from  the  United 
States  should  examine  the  Louisiana-West  Florida  documents.  The  Spanish 
consul  at  New  Orleans,  while  recommending  an  individual  of  that  city  who 
desired  to  search  for  land  titles,  advised  the  officials  at  Havana  that  all  pos- 
sible hindrances  should  be  placed  in  his  way,  hinting  that  things  might  be 
brought  to  light  which  would  cause  a  decidedly  unpleasant  feeling  on  the  part 
of  the  United  States.71  An  investigation  of  the  documents  which  were  then  in 
Havana  reveals  only  too  well  the  mass  of  material  which  Spain  desired  should 
not  be  known  to  the  United  States.  Finally,  however,  in  1835,  N.  P.  Trist 
was  allowed  to  select,  under  what  restrictions  it  is  not  known,  certain  papers 
which  were  delivered  to  him  and  which  he  in  turn  sent  to  Washington.  A 
portion  of  these  documents  is  now  in  the  Library  of  Congress.™

FLORIDA   ORIENTAL    PAPERS. 

As  to  the  archives  of  East  Florida,  they  remained  in  St.  Augustine  up  to 
the  time  of  the  transfer  to  the  United  States,"  except  such  papers  of  the 
treasury  department  as  were  transmitted  to  the  intendancy  and  Tribunal  de 
Cuentas  in  Havana,  from  time  to  time,  according  to  the  administrative  pro- 
cedure.™ Immediately  after  the  transfer  of  Florida  to  the  United  States,  the 
treasury  documents  were  removed  to  Havana.™ 

The  archive  of  the  office  of  the  governor  of  East  Florida  was  turned  over 
in  its  entirety  to  the  United  States  government,  and  consequently  no  papers 
from  that  office  were  found  among  the  Papeles  de  Cuba.  This  archive  was 
placed  in  charge  of  the  United  States  Land  Office  and  suffered  many  years  of 
neglect.  Finally  in  1905  these  papers  were  discovered  by  the  Librarian  of 
Congress,  and  arrangements  were  made  to  have  them  deposited  in  the  Library 
of  Congress,  where  they  are  now  to  be  found."

"These  papers  with  those  transmitted  previously  are  largely  found  in  the  Florida 
Oriental  series,  see  pp.  xii,  xiii.  above. 

The  following  account  of  these  papers  is  found  in  the  Report  of  the  Librarian  of 
Congress  for  1905,  pp.  49-50 :  "  In  my  report  for  1904  I  described  the  status  of  the 
Spanish  papers  sent  to  the  Library  from  New  Mexico.  Learning  of  a  quantity  of 
similar  records  in  the  office  of  the  United  States  surveyor  general  in  Tallahassee,  Fla., 
the  Department  of  the  Interior  was  asked  if  there  were  any  obstacles  to  depositing  them 
in  the  Library  for  arrangement  and  safe  keeping.  The  Department  not  only  accepted 
the  suggestion,  but  further  stated  that  it  would  be  of  public  advantage  if  the  deposit 
were  made  a  permanent  one,  providing  always  that  no  papers  relating  to  land  titles 
should  be  so  retained.  Under  this  condition  the  papers  were  sent  to  the  Library,  and 
the  permanent  deposit  will  permit  the  institution  to  treat  it  in  the  same  manner  as  its 
other  collections  are  treated  before  they  are  made  available  for  historical  ends.  The 
task  of  arranging,  repairing,  mounting,  indexing,  and  binding  will  be  undertaken  in  due 
season.  The  papers  number  62.224  pieces,  with  some  volumes  bound  under  the  Spanish 
rule.  The  number  of  papers  in  the  volumes  can  hardly  be  determined  as  they  now  are, 
as  the  polilla  busily  bored  through  and  through  an  entire  volume,  and  even  the  parch- 
ment covers,  until  a  sheet  looks  like  a  bit  of  lace  work.  The  damage  thus  done  is  in 
some  cases  irreparable,  and  forcibly  illustrates  the  risks  and  dangers  attending  the  care 
and  preservation  of  manuscripts  in  semi-tropical  or  tropical  climates  where  a  rainy- 
season  and  heat  favor  the  development  of  these  destructive  pests. 

"  The  nature  of  this  collection  of  Spanish  documents  may  be  seen  from  the  following 
selected  list,  taken  from  the  labels  of  the  bundles,  of  which  there  were  372  in  all : 

1.  Correspondence  with  British  authorities. 

2.  Councils  of  war,  royal  regulations  and  orders,  etc. 

3.  Documents  of  the  delivery  of  East  Florida  to  the  United  States. 

4.  Embargo  and  revolution  of  1795. 

5.  Indian  presents. 

6.  Louisiana,  Pensacola,  Apalache,  and  Indians. 

7.  Memorials  and  concessions. 

8.  Negro  titles,  runaways,  etc 

9.  Oaths  of  allegiance. 

10.  Plans  of  fortifications  and  public  buildings. 

11.  Proclamations,  edicts,  etc. 

12.  Secret  correspondence  of  captain  general  [governor],  and  a  large  quantity  of  the 

correspondence  of  the  captain  general  [governor]  with  the  home  govern- 
ment, the  viceroy  of  Mexico,  and  his  subordinate  officers." 


xxiv  Introduction 

PAPELES  DE  CUBA  IN  THE  AKCHIVO  DE  INDIAS. 

Upon  arrival  in  Seville,  the  Papeles  de  Cuba  were  placed  on  boxes  in  one 
of  the  galleries  of  the  second  floor  of  the  Lonja.  Soon  it  was  discovered  that 
they  were  infested  with  polilla  (Calymmaderus  oblongus,  Gorham),  and  they 
were  considered  a  menace  to  the  other  papers  of  the  Archive  They  were 
hurriedly  removed  to  the  outer  corridor  and  given  a  treatment  with  benzine. 
Then  they  were  stored  in  a  room  on  the  first  floor,  where  they  remained  much 
neglected  for  two  decades.  Since  the  remodelling  of  the  Lonja  in  1913,  a 
more  suitable  place  has  been  provided  for  this  collection. 

It  has  been  stated  that  the  documents  of  this  section  of  the  Archivo  "  are 
now  dropping  slowly  to  pieces,  the  prey  of  moths  and  mildew  ".n  An  extended 
examination  fails  to  confirm  this  conclusion.  As  for  the  destructive  tropical 
insects,  let  it  be  said  that  the  benzine  treatment  combined  with  the  climate  has 
eradicated  them.  Among  a  thousand  legajos  handled,  there  were  only  eight 
which  were  completely  useless  and  less  than  a  score  which  were  damaged  to 
any  great  extent.  No  live  polilla  or  evidences  of  recent  activity  were  noted. 
Further,  Dr.  Giovanni  Bolle,  of  the  Agricultural  Experiment  Station  at  Gbrz, 
Austria,  a  specialist  in  insects  injurious  to  books,  was  unable  during  his  visit 
to  the  Archivo  in  191 1  to  get  any  live  specimens. 

There  are  some  few  volumes  and  documents  which  are  badly  damaged  from 
having  the  paper  eaten  by  ink  or  from  rough  handling.  It  is  safe,  however, 
to  say  that  very  few  documents  have  been  lost  from  this  collection  since  its 
removal  to  Seville.  Further,  there  is  no  reason  why  many  should  be  de- 
stroyed in  the  future,  as  the  Archivo  de  Indias  possesses  excellent  climatic 
conditions,  and  danger  from  fire  or  other  damage  is  practically  absent. 

CARNEGIE   INSTITUTION    MISSION    TO   SEVILLE. 

During  the  long  period  of  neglect,  sufficient  work  was  done  among  the 
Papeles  de  Cuba  to  show  their  great  importance.™  In  view  of  the  value  of 
these  papers,  the  writer  was  sent  to  Seville  on  a  mission  for  the  Carnegie 
Institution  of  Washington  to  investigate  and  report  on  them.  The  mission 
resulted  in  a  residence  of  over  two  years  in  Seville,  January,  191 1,  to  March, 
1913,  inclusive,  during  which  his  attention  was  given  exclusively  to  this 
collection. 

The  original  plan  of  the  mission  provided  for  the  making  of  a  calendar  of 
the  more  important  documents  of  the  Papeles  de  Cuba  relating  to  the  history 
of  the  United  States.  Upon  undertaking  this  task  its  impracticability  was 
soon  revealed.  The  great  mass  of  legajos,  the  extraordinary  number  of 
documents  in  each,  the  impossibility  of  determining  which  were  the  most

"This  work  was  done  mainly  by  Jose  Gonzalez  Verger,  assistant  chief  of  the

valuable,  and  the  uncertainty  as  to  the  value  of  the  Havana  index  and  check- 
list, were  the  factors  that  brought  about  a  change  in  the  plan  of  work.  To 
have  continued  on  the  original  plan  would  have  resulted  in  the  calendaring  of 
only  from  twenty-five  to  fifty  legajos,  and  there  would  have  been  no  assurance 
that  the  most  important  papers  had  been  made  available  to  students.  After 
careful  consideration  the  plan  of  the  present  volume  was  worked  out.  The 
result  of  the  work  is  this  Descriptive  Catalogue  of  the  Papeles  de  Cuba, 
which  is  intended  to  serve  as  an  introduction  to  this  valuable  mass  of  records. 

ORGANIZATION    OF   THE   PAPERS. 

The  Papeles  de  Cuba  received  their  present  organization  in  1856- 1857, 
when  they  were  prepared  for  transfer  to  the  newly  formed  Archivo  General 
de  Cuba."  At  this  time  and  in  1876,  indexes  "  of  these  documents  were  made, 
which  are  now  in  the  Archivo  Nacional  de  Cuba.  The  first,  begun  in  1856  and 
completed  in  1868-1869,  is  composed  of  twenty-one  separate  inventories,  num- 
bered from  1  to  21,  each  corresponding  to  an  administration  of  the  captains 
general  from  1765  to  1840,  together  with  inventories  of  the  papers  relating  to 
Cartagena  de  Indias  and  Nuevo  Reino  de  Granada.  This  index  covers  the 
papers  in  the  Capitanes  Generales  series  "  (legajos  1049-2264),  Cartagena  de 
Indias  (legajos  707-738),  and  Nuevo  Reino  de  Granada  (legajos  739-757). 
This  index  was  supplanted  by  the  index  of  1876,  which  consists  of  a  bound 
volume,  entitled  "  Archivo  General  de  la  Isla  de  Cuba — Indice  2° ".  It  has 
340  pages  and  contains  the  description  of  1497  legajos  of  the  Papeles  de  Cuba. 
It  covers  the  following  series:  Capitanes  Generales  (legajos  1049-2264), 
Florida  Occidental  (legajos  1-227),  63  legajos  from  series  nos.  6  to  n  (lega- 
jos 707-915),  and  Castillo  del  Morro  (legajos  916-920)."  The  index  of  1876 
was  very  carefully  made,  and  with  one  exception  it  corresponds  exactly  to  the 
legajos  described.  This  exception  to  its  exactness  is  in  the  case  of  the  Florida 
Occidental  series  (legajos  1-227),  and  is  not  the  fault  of  the  index  or  its 
maker,  but  is  due  to  the  later  disturbance  of  some  of  the  papers  or  possibly 
to  the  use  of  an  older  index  made  before  the  papers  were  disorganized.  It 
should  be  added  that  in  general  the  entries  in  the  case  of  the  Florida  Occi- 
dental series  are  exact,  the  misplacement  being  of  parts  of  the  legajos  only. 
The  entries  of  this  index  have  been  used  as  headings  for  the  descriptions  in 
the  Descriptive  Catalogue." 

"  This  archive  was  established  and  organized  in  conformity  with  a  royal  order  of 
Oct.  31,  1857.  See  Llaverias,  Hisioria  de  los  Archivos  de  Cuba,  pp.  96-99,  which  gives 
an  account  of  the  establishment  and  reprints  the  order. 

M  There  are  many  other  earlier  indexes  and  inventories  of  portions  of  this  collection. 
Except  for  historical  purposes  these  indexes  are  of  little  value,  as  the  documents  have 
been  reorganized  since  they  were  made.  A  list  of  these  indexes  and  inventories  is, 
however,  appended  to  this  introduction.

**  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  Llaverias  in  his  Htstoria  de  los  Archivos  de  Cuba 
makes  no  mention  of  either  of  these  indexes  of  the  Papeles  de  Cuba. 


xxvi  Introduction 

When  the  documents  were  removed  to  Spain  in  1888- 1889,  neither  of  these 
indexes  was  sent  with  them,  but  instead  they  were  accompanied  by  the  check- 
lists made  by  Sr.  Cornejo."  The  manner  in  which  these  check-lists  were 
made  resulted  in  an  indefiniteness  which  cast  a  suspicion  upon  their  value. 
Moreover,  on  account  of  their  incompleteness,  they  did  not  afford  a  sufficient 
guide  to  the  papers,  nor  in  the  nature  of  the  case  was  the  check-list  or  either  of 
the  Havana  indexes  adequate  for  the  portion  of  the  papers  relating  to  the 
United  States. 

As  may  be  seen  from  the  table  given  on  pages  xii,  xiii,  above,  the  Papeles  de 
Cuba  are  divided  into  various  series  based  on  topography.  Within  these 
series  a  chronological  arrangement  combined  with  classification  by  officials 
or  official  positions  is  used.  The  plan  is  satisfactory  where  strictly  adhered 
to,  as  it  is  in  most  cases. 

The  documents  relating  to  the  United  States  are  duplicated  in  different 
forms  in  many  instances,  because  the  archives  of  the  provinces  of  Louisiana 
and  West  Florida  are  here  combined  with  those  of  the  captaincy  general  of 
Cuba,  which  had  supervisory  power  over  these  provinces.*6 

The  Papeles  de  Cuba  have  suffered  little  modification  in  arrangement  since 
their  removal  to  Seville.  Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  documents  were  con- 
sidered to  be  in  complete  disorder,"  some  5300  individual  documents  were 
removed  from  their  legajos  by  Sr.  Gonzalez  Verger  and  Professor  Shepherd. 
About  500  of  these  documents  have  since  been  returned  to  their  proper 
legajos ;  the  remainder  form  legajos  2351  to  2375  inclusive.  Those  in  legajos 
2351  to  2356  have  been  copied  for  the  Department  of  Archives  and  History, 
Jackson,  Mississippi,  and  are  listed  in  Robertson,  List  of  Documents  in 
Spanish  Archives  relating  to  the  History  of  the  United  States."  Many  of  the 
papers  of  legajos  2357-2375  were  removed  for  this  same  purpose,  but  the 
commission  was  never  carried  out.  The  remaining  documents  of  these  latter 
legajos  were  copied  for  Mr.  Louis  Houck  of  St.  Louis  *  and  Professor  W.  R. 
Shepherd.  These  documents  are  now  arranged  in  chronological  order  within 
the  several  legajos,  and  with  the  exception  of  the  last  three  legajos  have  been 
calendared  for  the  Carnegie  Institution  of  Washington. 

The  impression  that  these  papers  were  in  complete  disorder  might  have 
been  gained  from  an  inspection  of  the  Florida  Occidental  series  (legajos 
1-227).  As  a  matter  of  fact,  however,  the  greater  portion  of  the  legajos 
relating  to  the  United  States  are  in  good  order.     Of  the  954  legajos  examined,

only  251  are  in  a  disordered  condition,  and  of  these  198  belong  to  the  Florida 
Occidental  series." 

It  appears  evident  that  the  Papeles  de  Cuba  were  all  in  order  during  some 
period  of  their  deposit  in  Havana.  Two  hypotheses  are  offered  to  explain 
the  present  disorder  of  part  of  the  legajos.  First,  that  they  were  all  placed 
in  order  at  the  time  of  the  reorganization  of  the  archives  in  1856  and  that 
the  disorder  is  due  to  careless  handling  between  that  time  and  their  removal 
to  Spain,  for  it  is  certain  that  the  legajos  now  disordered  were  in  about  their 
present  condition  when  they  arrived  in  Seville.  Secondly,  that  in  1856  the 
legajos  were  left  as  found  and  that  the  disorder  was  the  result  of  careless 
handling  or  investigation  during  the  period  when  the  United  States  was 
making  demands  for  the  transfer  of  certain  documents  from  the  collection. 
With  time  and  patience  even  the  most  disordered  of  the  legajos  of  the  collec- 
tion could  be  rearranged  on  the  basis  of  the  Havana  classification.  This 
would  to  some  extent  vitiate  the  work  of  this  report,  but  if  the  disordered 
legajos  could  ever  be  put  in  order,  it  would,  of  course,  be  a  great  improve- 
ment. The  likelihood  of  such  a  task  ever  being  undertaken,  however,  is 
very  remote. 

ARRANGEMENT    OF   THE    PAPERS. 

The  Papeles  de  Cuba  are  arranged  in  legajos  (bundles),  either  in  the  size 
of  the  Spanish  pliego  (21.5  by  31.5  cm.),  of  the  Spanish  cuartillo  (16  by  21.5 
cm.),  or  of  what  seems  to  be  an  English  or  American  paper  ( 18.5  by  2$  cm.). 
The  height  of  the  legajo  varies  with  the  number  of  documents.  In  the 
pliego  size  (indicated  in  the  descriptions  by  the  letter  A)  are  found  the 
treasury  documents,  some  of  the  correspondence  in  the  Florida  Occidental 
series,  and  some  other  documents.  In  the  cuartillo  size  (indicated  by  the 
letter  B)  are  the  drafts  of  the  governors  of  Louisiana  and  most  of  the  corre- 
spondence of  the  local  officials  of  Louisiana  and  the  Floridas.  Most  of  the 
original  letters  in  the  Capitanes  Generates  series  are  in  pliego  size  folded  once 

"The  following  table  shows  the  total  present  number  of  legajos  containing  materials 
relating  to  the  United  States  and  the  number  of  disordered  legajos  in  each  series:

The  difference  between  the  numbers  of  the  legajos  and  the  total  present  legajos  is  due 
to  the  division  of  legajos.

to  the  cuartillo,  while  the  drafts  are  all  of  the  latter  size.  The  third  size  (indi- 
cated by  the  letter  C)  includes  the  correspondence  in  French  and  English  by 
the  local  officials  of  Louisiana  and  others,  which  is  found  in  a  group  of 
legajos  in  the  Florida  Occidental  series,  entitled  "  Correspondencia  Nacional 
y  Extrangera  ". 

The  legajos  are  unwrapped,  with  the  exception  of  a  few  hundred  of  the 
Capitanes  Generales  series  which  are  in  sheep  cases.  The  only  protection  is  a 
piece  of  cardboard,  at  the  top  and  bottom  of  the  legajo,  which  often  is  not  as 
large  as  the  papers.  This  is  insufficient  to  protect  against  rough  usage,  dust, 
and  dirt.  Let  it  be  said,  however,  that  the  legajos  now  receive  careful  hand- 
ling from  the  employees  of  the  archive. 

COMPLETENESS   OF  THE   COLLECTION. 

Just  how  many  documents  have  been  lost  from  the  Papeles  de  Cuba  during 
the  past  century,  it  is  hard  to  say.  It  is  sufficiently  evident,  however,  that 
very  few  have  disappeared  from  the  documents  dating  from  about  1760. 
Documents  before  that  date  are  rare,  and  the  legajos  relating  to  the  United 
States  covering  periods  before  that  time  are  mostly  useless. 

Many  series  of  documents  relating  to  Louisiana  and  the  Floridas  are 
complete.  Among  these  may  be  mentioned  treasury  reports,  correspondence 
of  the  governors  and  intendants  of  Louisiana,  etc.  The  archive  of  the  cap- 
taincy general  is  intact,  as  is  shown  by  the  various  numbered  series  of  corre- 
spondence of  that  office  with  the  governors  of  Louisiana  and  East  Florida 
and  the  commandants  of  Pensacola."

more  of  the  series  are  found  in  the  same  legajo,  so

number  of  complete  legajos  of  each  series.) 


Introduction  xxix 

RESULTS   OF   THE    MISSION. 

In  all,  928  original  legajos,  containing  materials  relating  to  the  United 
States,  were  found  and  examined.  Only  one  legajo  (561)  relating  to  the 
United  States  was  missing.  The  great  reliability  of  the  Havana  index  and 
the  examination  of  many  legajos,  not  relating  to  the  United  States,  brings  the 
conclusion  that  all  the  United  States  material  in  the  Papeles  de  Cuba  was 
located  and  described.  Eight  legajos  "  were  found  to  be  completely  useless, 
and  some  others  partially  damaged."  On  account  of  the  extraordinary  size 
of  many  of  the  legajos,  the  writer  was  asked  by  the  Chief  of  the  Archive  to 
divide  them  into  two  or  more  parts,*'  so  that  the  present  number  of  legajos 
relating  to  the  United  States  is  954,  of  which  eight  are  useless  and  one  is 
missing,  leaving  a  net  total  of  945.  Sixty-five  of  these  legajos  are  composed 
entirely  of  books,  and  ninety  contain  one  or  two  volumes,  in  addition  to  the 
documents. 

There  is  an  estimated  total  of  472,743  documents  and  461  account  and 
letter  books  in  the  945  legajos.  This  gives  an  average  of  554  documents  per 
legajo,  including  the  65  containing  only  books,  or  an  average  of  500  docu- 
ments, if  the  latter  are  included  and  each  book  is  counted  as  a  single  document. 
The  number  of  separate  documents  would  be  materially  increased  if  the  dupli- 
cates occurring  in  the  same  legajo  were  counted,  which  was  not  done  in  the 
Capitanes  Generales  series  and  in  the  treasury  documents.  A  small  deduction 
should  also  be  made  for  certain  legajos  where  only  a  portion  of  the  documents 
relates  to  the  United  States." 

In  giving  the  number  of  documents  in  the  descriptions,  the  exact  number  is 
indicated  in  the  case  of  the  143  listed  legajos  (see  below),  those  calendared 
in  this  work,  and  many  containing  treasury  papers.  In  the  other  legajos  the 
estimate  was  based  on  the  character  of  the  papers  and  the  height  of  the  legajo, 
and  for  this  reason  the  height  is  given  in  each  case  as  well  as  the  estimated 
number  of  documents. 

CHARACTER  OF  THE  DESCRIPTIONS. 

The  descriptions  of  the  legajos  given  in  this  volume  fall  into  two  general 
classes,  each  of  which  in  turn  comprises  two  divisions.  The  first  class  includes 
all  those  legajos  for  which  only  general  descriptions  as  to  scope  and  con- 
tent are  given.  In  this  class  the  descriptions  are  arranged  uniformly  in  this 
order :  ( 1 )  the  heading  as  given  in  the  Havana  index,  with  corrected  dates 
in  brackets,  (2)  a  statement  of  the  period  covered  by  the  legajo  and  its 
arrangement  and  order,  (3)  a  list  of  the  correspondents,  and  (4)  an  indica- 

■  Legajos  445,  446,  450,  452,  453,  454,  455,  461,  all  dated  prior  to  1760. 

"  These  are  noted  in  the  descriptions. 

"The  parts  are  numbered  as  follows,  e.  g.,  154-1,  154-2,  154-3;  and  are  separately 
described. 

"These  legajos  occur  entirely  in  the  Capitanes  Generales  series,  e.  g.,  legajos  1309, 
1368,  1408,  1418,  1511,  etc. 


xxx  Introduction 

tion  of  the  subjects  treated  and  important  documents  found  in  the  legajo. 
The  first  division  of  this  class  comprises  the  legajos  of  correspondence,  mostly 
in  disorder,  between  the  governors  of  Louisiana  and  their  subordinates 
(legajos  1-227),  as  well  as  other  similar  legajos  throughout  the  collection. 
The  second  division  consists  of  the  well-ordered  legajos  of  the  Capitanes 
Generales  series  and  others,  in  which  the  letters  are  numbered ;  many  of  these 
legajos  have  been  listed.9" 

The  second  class  includes  the  legajos  for  which  the  descriptions  are  not 
merely  general,  but  are  complete  in  the  form  of  an  actual  or  practical  calendar. 
The  definitive  work  of  description  is  done  in  this  volume  for  this  class,  making 
the  documents  readily  available  to  the  historical  investigator.  In  general  the 
descriptions  of  these  legajos  consist  of:  (i)  the  Havana  heading,  (2)  a 
statement  of  the  scope  and  arrangement  of  the  legajo,  and  (3)  an  indication, 
in  form  of  calendar  or  otherwise,  of  the  content.  The  first  division  of  this 
class  includes  the  accounts  of  the  treasuries,  intendancies,  and  reales  alma- 
cenes,  and  the  listas  de  revista  and  other  similar  and  well-ordered  documents. 
The  second  division  is  composed  of  expedientes,  letter  and  account  books,  and 
indexes.     This  latter  division  is  fully  calendared  in  all  cases. 

The  following  table  shows  the  number  of  legajos  in  the  various  classes

Of  the  532  legajos  of  the  first  class,  143,  selected  as  most  deserving  such 
fuller  treatment,  were  calendared  or  listed  by  clerks  under  the  direction  of 
the  writer,  and  the  calendar  slips  are  now  in  the  office  of  the  Department  of 
Historical  Research  of  the  Carnegie  Institution  of  Washington.  In  general 
the  subject  matter  for  these  slips  was  obtained  by  copying  the  summary  or 
abstract  of  the  document,  which  was  usually  written  on  the  margin  or  the 
carpeta  (folder).  As  it  was  required  by  law  that  only  one  subject  be  treated 
in  a  letter,"  and  as  the  abstracts  were  to  facilitate  the  labor  of  the  recipient 
of  the  letters,  they  are  found  to  be  exact  and  to  give  a  satisfactory  idea  of  the 
document.  In  some  cases,  however,  where  the  abstracts  were  not  present, 
the  clerks,  after  proper  training,  were  permitted  to  make  summaries.     In  all,

about  57,000  documents  have  been  listed  in  this  form.  The  143  legajos  that 
have  been  calendared  are  indicated  by  the  word  "  Listed  "  at  the  end  of  the 
description.  These  slips  serve  as  a  complete  guide  to,  and  show  the  value  of, 
the  documents  of  this  group  of  legajos.  A  test  made  indicates  that  about  70 
per  cent,  of  the  entries  of  documents  would  be  suitable  for  inclusion  in  a  pub- 
lished calendar,  if  such  should  ever  be  made  from  the  slips.  Meanwhile, 
whatever  information  they  contain  is  at  the  service  of  historical  investigators, 
on  application  to  the  Director  of  the  Department  of  Historical  Research 
named  above. 

In  addition  to  the  work  of  describing  and  calendaring,  a  series  of  233 
photographs  was  made.  These  photographs  include  documents  of  especial 
interest  illustrative  of  the  character  of  the  papers  and  present  a  miscellaneous 
series  of  autographs  of  the  various  Spanish  officials  connected  with  the 
administration  of  Louisiana  and  the  Floridas." 

CONTENT  OF  THE  PAPELES  DE  CUBA. 

The  portion  of  the  Papeles  de  Cuba  which  relates  to  the  United  States 
contains  documents  treating  the  various  phases  of  the  Spanish  administration 
in  Louisiana  and  the  Floridas  and  covering  in  general  the  period  from  1761  to 
1 821,  although  there  are  some  few  documents  both  before  and  after  these 
dates.  Among  the  subjects  treated  are  the  political  history  of  the  region,  both 
internal  and  external,  including  especially  the  relations  with  the  United  States 
and  the  Indian  problem,  finances,  military,  social  and  religious  matters,  immi- 
gration, and  the  super-imposition  of  the  Spanish  system  of  administration 
upon  the  French  system  in  Louisiana. 

The  Florida  Occidental  series  (legajos  1-227)  contains  correspondence  of 
the  governors  of  Louisiana  with  their  subordinates,  with  the  captains  general 
of  Cuba,  the  ministers  of  the  Indies,  the  viceroys  of  New  Spain,  the  bishops 
of  Louisiana,  and  the  consuls  of  Spain  in  the  United  States ;  correspondence 
of  the  commandants  of  Pensacola,  intendants  of  Louisiana,  and  commandants 
of  Mobile ;  expedientes  in  civil,  criminal,  and  military  cases ;  reales  cedulas 
and  despachos ;  and  indexes  and  letter-books.  The  Florida  Occidental  series 
(legajos  228-282)  comprises  correspondence  of  the  intendants  of  Louisiana 
and  West  Florida ;  accounts  of  the  treasury  and  real  almacen  of  Pensacola, 
office  for  the  conclusion  of  the  affairs  of  Louisiana,  treasury  of  Nogales,  and 
hospital  at  Pensacola ;  ajustamientos  and  listas  de  revista  of  troops  and  mili- 
tia at  Pensacola  and  Apalache ;  and  treasury  expedientes  of  New  Orleans  and 
Pensacola. 

"  A  set  of  these  photographs  may  be  secured  from  the  Carnegie  Institution  of  Wash- 
ington for  the  cost  of  production.  Since  the  writer's  return  from  Spain  a  larger  series 
of  photographs,  3000  plates  or  pages  in  all,  embracing  the  regular  series  of  despatches 
from  the  governor  of  Louisiana  to  the  captain  general  of  Cuba,  from  1766  to  1791 
inclusive,  has  been  carefully  made  by  the  Institution,  in  ten  sets,  for  sale  to  libraries  in 
the  United  States.

and  other  documents  of  the  same  character  as  the  series  from  which  they 
were  removed. 

VALUE  AND  EXPLOITATION    OF   THE   PAPELES  DE   CUBA. 

From  the  indication  given  above,  the  value  of  the  Papeles  de  Cuba  for  that 
portion  of  the  United  States  which  was  formerly  Spanish  Louisiana  and  the 
Floridas  is  clearly  manifest.  A  relatively  small  amount  of  use  has  been  made 
of  this  collection  on  account  of  its  inaccessibility.  Mention  has  been  made  of 
the  documents  copied  for  the  Department  of  Archives  and  History,  Jack- 
son, Mississippi,  and  for  Mr.  Houck  and  Professor  Shepherd.  Professor 
I.  J.  Cox,  of  the  University  of  Cincinnati,  has  made  investigation  of  these 
papers,  basing  his  work  upon  the  notes  for  this  volume,  and  has  published 
some  of  the  results."  The  writer  secured  copies  of  many  Mezieres  docu- 
ments for  Professor  Herbert  E.  Bolton,  of  the  University  of  California,1**  and 
had  an  extensive  series  of  notes  upon  the  commerce  of  Louisiana  taken  for 
Professor  Edward  Channing,  of  Harvard  University.  On  the  whole,  how- 
ever, the  Papeles  de  Cuba  present  a  virgin  field  for  investigation,  and  it  is 
hoped  that  this  Descriptive  Catalogue  may  be  useful  in  placing  the  documents 
at  the  service  of  future  investigators. 

OBSERVATIONS. 

The  order  pursued  in  describing  the  legajos  has  been  indicated  above 
(p.  xxix).  In  cases  where  inclusive  dates  are  given  for  a  series  of  letters 
which  are  accompanied  by  drafts  of  replies,  the  dates  of  the  drafts  often 
extend  either  before  or  after  the  dates  of  the  original  letters.  When  in  the 
series  numeration  a  smaller  number  follows  a  larger,  it  is  due  to  the  fact  that 
more  than  one  numeration  was  used  and  the  numbers  are  given  in  chrono- 
logical order. 

All  the  documents  described  in  this  volume  are  in  Spanish  except  where 
otherwise  indicated.  As  a  knowledge  of  Spanish  is  necessary  to  anyone 
studying  the  Papeles  de  Cuba,  the  original  Spanish  titles  of  documents  are 
given  where  possible,  as  being  more  exact  than  translations.  Where  both 
Spanish  and  French  forms  of  names  of  places  were  used,  the  form  used  in 
any  given  instance  is  retained  in  the  descriptions.  In  the  case  of  New 
Orleans,  Pensacola,  and  St.  Louis,  however,  the  Anglicized  form  is  used  in 

"  The  following  titles  are  based  in  part  upon  documents  from  the  Papeles  de  Cuba : 
"The  Louisiana-Texas  Frontier",  part  II.,  in  the  Southwestern  Historical  Quarterly, 
XVII.  (1913).  1-42,  140-187;  "General  Wilkinson  and  his  Later  Intrigues  with  the 
Spaniards",  in  the  American  Historical  Review,  XIX.  794-812;  "Wilkinson's  First 
Break  with  the  Spaniards",  in  Eighth  Annual  Report  of  the  Ohio  Valley  Historical 
Association  (1915),  printed  in  the  Biennial  Report  of  the  Department  of  Archives  and 
History  of  the  State  of  West  Virginia,  1911-1912,  1913-1914  (Charleston,  W.  Va.,  1915), 
pp.  49-56;  West  Florida,  1798-1813:  a  Study  in  American  Frontier  Diplomacy  (Balti- 
more, in  press). 

"•  Part  of  these  copies  appear  in  translation  in  his  Athanase  de  Misilres  (Cleveland, 
191 5,  2  vols.).     They  are  indicated,  under  their  respective  legajos,  in  the  Descriptive 
Catalogue.

xxxiv  Introduction 

all  cases  except  where  they  occur  in  titles  of  documents,  and  then  the  form 
in  the  document  is  retained.  The  names  of  persons  are  given  in  the  form  or 
forms  used  by  the  individual.  Obvious  misspellings,  especially  of  personal 
names  by  other  than  the  individual  himself,  have  been  eliminated. 

The  lists  of  correspondents  in  the  descriptions  are,  in  general,  arranged  in 
chronological  or  alphabetical  order,  or  in  a  combination  of  both.  In  many 
legajos,  it  was  found  more  convenient  to  make  groups  according  to  the  prin- 
cipal correspondents,  within  which  the  chronological  and  alphabetical  order 
is  observed.  The  names  of  Joseph  Vazquez  Vahamonde  and  Vicente  Fer- 
nandez Texeiro  or  Texeyro  require  special  notice.  Their  proper  alphabetiza- 
tion is  Vazquez  and  Fernandez,  respectively,  but  as  they  were  known  quite 
generally  as  Vahamonde  and  Texeiro,  the  patronymics  have  frequently  been 
omitted  and  they  have  in  these  instances  been  alphabetized  as  Vahamonde 
and  Texeiro. 

The  common  form  of  the  Spanish  abbreviations  in  these  documents  was 
made  by  writing  the  first  part  of  the  word  and  then  placing  the  last  two  or 
three  letters  in  a  raised  position,  e.  g.,  Hazda,  hazienda;  R"  Rta8,  Reales 
Rentas;  Sor,  Senor,  etc.  These  raised  letters  have  uniformly  been  brought 
down  to  a  level  with  the  remainder  and  a  period  placed  after  the  abbreviation. 
This  is  the  only  change  made  in  titles  given  as  in  the  original. 

The  writer  wishes  to  express  his  thanks  to  His  Excellency  Don  Juan  Riano 

y  Gayangos,  Spanish  minister  to  the  United  States,  for  several  letters  of 

introduction ;  to  the  Honorable  Charles  S.  Winans,  formerly  American  consul 

at  Seville,  for  his  many  favors ;  to  Sr.  Dn.  Pedro  Torres  Lanzas  and  Sr.  Dn. 

Jose  Gonzalez  Verger,  the  latter  now  deceased,  chief  and  assistant  chief  of  the 

Archivo  de  Indias,  for  their  continued  courtesies  and  assistance ;  and  to  the 

other  employees  of  the  Archivo  for  their  courteous  attention.

The  material  of  this  legajo  relating  to  the  history  of  the  United  States  is 
to  be  found  in  items  one  and  four  of  the  list  given  above.  Among  the  letters 
of  the  intendant  of  Havana  is  a  package  labelled  "  Luisiana  y  Florida  ".  This 
package  could  not  be  examined,  as  it  is  formed  into  one  solid  mass  by  the 
work  of  the  polilla.  The  correspondence  of  the  bishop  of  Louisiana  consists 
of  a  few  letters  of  Luis  de  Pefialver  to  Conde  de  Santa  Clara,  captain  general 
of  Cuba,  together  with  the  drafts  of  the  replies.  These  letters  relate  only  to 
religious  matters  connected  with  the  province  of  Louisiana. 

The  legajo  is  well  organized,  but  is  very  badly  damaged  by  polilla,  about 
one-half  of  it  being  useless.

Legajo  1865.  1812-1816.    Causas  Militares:    Sumaria  contra  varios  oficiales 
juzgados  por  la  entrega  del  Fuerte  de  la  Movila  a  los  E.  U. 
Existen  otras  varias  de  individuos  de  poco  interes. 
(Apodaca  81 ;  Capitanes  Generales  817.)    A,  25  cm. 

Besides  several  cases  of  no  importance  relating  to  minor  offenses  of  officials 
in  Havana,  there  are  the  two  following  documents  relating  to  the  United 
States : 

(a)  1813,  May  2-1815,  June  10.  Pensacola  and  Havana.  Testimonio. 
Ano  1813.  Criminal  contra  D.  Cayetano  Perez,  D.  Franco.  Morejon.  D.  Juan 
Jose  Bon,  D.  Luis  Pana,  Capn.  Tentes.  y  Subte.  de  Regimto.  Infta.  de  la 
Luisiana ;  D.  Migl.  Peheiro,  Tente.  del  de  Puebla,  y  D.  Juan  Esteves  de  igual 
clase  del  Rl.  Cuerpo  de  Artilleria,  acusados  de  haver  abandonado  el  Fuerte 
Carlota  de  la  Mobila  a  las  Tropas  de  los  Estados  Unidos  de  America  el  dia 
quince  de  Abril.    762  ff.,  copy. 

This  is  the  first  part  of  the  trial,  but  added  to  the  folios  of  the  second  does 
not  equal  the  number  of  folios  indicated  in  the  certificate  fit  the  end  of  the 
latter,  so  it  seems  that  they  are  parts  of  distinct  copies. 

(b)  1815,  July  5-1821,  Jan.  18.  Havana.  2a  Pieza.  De  los  autos  seguidos 
sobre  la  entrega  del  Fuerte  de  la  Mobila  a  las  tropas  de  los  Estados  Unidos 
de  America.    512  ff.,  certified  copy. 

The  certificate  states  that  the  copy  consists  of  1231  folios,  and  that  the 
original  was  given  to  the  captain  general  to  be  sent  to  the  court.  Evidently 
not  a  part  of  the  same  copy  as  (a).

The  documents  are  scattered  over  the  years  indicated  and  are  arranged  in 

order.    All  the  above  items  except  (e)  are  present.     The  major  portion  of 

the  legajo  is  formed  of  items  (a)  and  (c),  in  which  are  found  a  very  few 

references  to  the  United  States.

1816,  Jan.-i8i7,  June.    Marques  de  Campo  Sagrado. 

1817,  June-Dec.    Francisco  de  Eguia. 

These  are  the  general  military  orders,  all  being  applicable  to  the  Floridas, 
but  few  of  them  being  specifically  for  those  regions.  One  order  of  impor- 
tance is  that  approving  the  sentence  pronounced  against  the  officials  in  charge 
at  Baton  Rouge  when  it  was  surrendered  to  the  Americans  (Sept.,  1816).

of  the  two  Floridas,  by  the  ministers  of  war.  They  were  in  turn  transmitted 
by  Cienfuegos  to  the  governors  and  commandants  in  Florida. 

These  are  the  general  military  orders  applicable  to  the  Floridas,  but  few 
make  specific  mention  of  those  regions.  Many  relate  to  the  petitions  of  offi- 
cials, and  many  are  general  orders  regarding  the  revolutionary  movements 
in  America. 

Special  orders:  1818,  commission  to  Jose  Masot  as  governor  of  Pensacola

The  references,  except  in  the  case  of  Roman  numerals,  are  to  legajos,  not  to  pages.  The 
accenting  of  Christian  names  has,  for  the  sake  of  uniformity,  been  normalized;  the  spelling 
of  surnames  is,  so  far  as  is  possible,  that  of  the  person  himself.
